Ravel Morrison has shared his admiration of reported Aston Villa target and Arsenal attacking midfielder Emile Smith Rowe on Twitter.
The former Manchester United prospect has posted a simple one-word tweet in response to Arsenal’s post on Smith Rowe.
The Gunners have expressed their pride at having the attacking midfielder in the team.
Arsenal made the post on Twitter after their pre-season friendly match against Rangers at Ibrox yesterday.
Former West Ham United and Sheffield United midfielder Morrison has shared his admiration of Smith Rowe by posting just ‘player’ with two emojis.
Aston Villa interest
Smith Rowe has been strongly linked with Villa.
The London Evening Standard has claimed that the Villans have had two bids turned down by Arsenal.
Dean Smith’s side’s second offer was £30 million.
Arsenal are adamant that they will not sell the 20-year-old and plan to hand him a new deal.
Aston Villa transfer this summer?
Morrison was considered a gem when he was younger, and he would know a quality young player when he sees one.
Former United manager Sir Alex Ferguson rated Morrison highly.
That Morrison, on trial at Derby County, took his own initiative to reply to Arsenal’s post, even though it was a simple response, shows how much he rates Smith Rowe.
Smith Rowe would be a superb signing for Villa and would form a brilliant partnership with Jack Grealish in the Villans’ attacking midfield.
However, it does not look likely now that Villa will be able to sign Smith Rowe.
